Rome Colosseum, Italy
The Colosseum, originally the Flavian Amphitheater, is the largest Colosseum ever built in the Roman Empire. Its construction began between 70 and 72 AD. J.-C to be completed in 80.
the Colosseum was used for venationes (wild animal fights), munera (gladiator fights) and other public spectacles, such as executions of death row inmates, reconstructions of famous battles and dramas based on Roman mythology.
The colosseum remained in service for nearly 500 years. The building finally ceased to be used during Middle Ages. It was later reused for various activities such as houses, craftsmen's workshops, the seat of a religious order, a fortress, a quarry and a Christian Catholic sanctuary.
